Il Gallo della Checca - Ranzo (IM)

Il Gallo della Checca, a truffle restaurant with its own Tartufaia as well as an osteria and wine shop since 1986, is located in Ranzo, a small inland Ligurian village on the border with Piedmont. One does not arrive here by accident, but because of the gastronomic value of the address, which is certainly worth a special detour. As you cross the threshold of the entrance, you will find yourself immersed in a quaint rustic-elegant style setting, full of curious elements, from the piano to the tiled stove, from the collection of ceramic roosters to vintage and modern racing bicycles, a great passion of Chef and Patron Ugo Vairo. The main hall is decorated like a wedding favor, with oriental carpets and many well-displayed bottles. Ugo Vairo and Renata Siboni run a place that easily wins over its customers.

EraGoffi - Torino











EraGoffi is the gastronomic restaurant in Turin that represents a new era and a new history of a historic place, the Goffi del Lauro, where artists, musicians and literary figures from Turin in the early 1900s used to meet.
The new revised name is a tribute to tradition, as well as the logo of the restaurant, which represents the laurel tree of which there is only one specimen left in the garden.


Once inside, you will find rooms totally renovated with great taste, in which you will admire the wise use of tapestries alternating with plaster and exposed brick.

In the dining room, furnished with elements of great design, stand out the suspended lamps that contribute to a well-designed lighting and well centered on the tables.

EraGoffi does not take away from what has been, but adds new values and content in a contemporary key.


A great hand, that of Chef Lorenzo Careggio! Personality, technique and imagination, many ideas, a taste for provocation perfectly balanced by an admirable sense of balance make his cuisine a source of gratification and surprise, which is somewhat the essence of what we look for from a Cucina d'Autore.

Followed and cuddled in this occasion by Sous-Chef Enzo Barillà, we had the confirmation that the restaurant is based on solid foundations and that even the Chef's absence for training does not affect in the least the preparations.

This is a restaurant which is making a lot of people talk about it: in this second tasting experience we were once again impressed by an original and personal path, enhanced by excellent raw materials.
